About this map

Amite stands as a primary hub of development along the Illinois Central railroad in this 1940s landscape, which spans the boundaries of St. Helena, Tangipahoa, and Livingston parishes. The area is defined by a dense network of rural infrastructure, featuring numerous community-specific landmarks such as Ott School, Harris School, and the Woods School. Religious and memorial sites are frequent, including Higgs Church, Columbia Church, and the Durbin Cemetery. The land is drained by the Natalbany River and the Little Natalbany River, which meander through a grid of section lines. This survey captures a specific moment in Louisiana's parish history, illustrating how small settlements like Gullett and Hillsdale were linked by both the rail corridor and growing state highways.
